Greetings friends, I thought you would all like to see the recent interview with national disintegration guru Robert Kaplan in which he describes the coming end of the United States. http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/bookauth/ba980916.htm If you do not find this gloomy enough for your taste, be sure to pop out to your local newsstand to pick up the current issue of Harper's magazine for the cover piece by David Quammen, titled "Planet of the Weeds. Earth will soon support only survivor species-dandelions, roaches, lizards, thistles, crows, and rats. Not to mention 10 billion humans. A grim look into the future by David Quammen." Have a nice day! :)) Edward
